" Person " Japanese calligraphy
"人" (ninn, or hito). It is translated as a person, man, human being, people, etc.
This character is written by Kanzi, Regular script.
Etymology : Pictogram
It looks like this character stands a man.
His hand supports the body.
It is often used for the example talk of people helping each other.
This meaning reminds me of the love of mother and child.
I like states of parent and child whom is hand in hand.

A Kanji really giving Honour and Pride to Human Being. Pictogram is, sometimes, a good revenge of picture on the alphabet.

Simplicity and strength. The Man supporting his body on his hand is gazing at the sky... what a beautiful and fragile linkage between the Earth and the Skys!
ReplyDeleteThe pictogram is so wide, so opened, yet so full of balance and steady...
It's seems so simple, but at the same time it has such a power!
